"10,000 angels." starting back in 2004, she had a series of personal problems including run ins with the law and several stints in rehab. doctors right now say an autopsy has been planned. olympic athlete oscar pistorius will not compete in any races this year. his agent confirmed late last night he was canceling the races for foreseeable future to focus on murder charges against him. pistorius was charged with murder last thursday after his girlfriend, reeva steenkamp, was found shot several times inside his home. he's being held at a police station in the south african capital. steenkamp's funeral is set for tomorrow. president obama's chief of staff says the white house has in fact been working on its very own immigration reform plan. the only reason why the world knows about the secret plan is because it leaked over the weekend. now a lot of republicans are very upset.

"today in the bay's" marla tellez in our newsroom now with more on this immigration controversy. marla, good morning. >> good morning. details of the president's plan were picked up and printed by "usa today" on saturday. now some lawmakers say the leak was no accident. that is president obama's way of influencing the process. the obama administration says it wasn't intentional and calls it nothing more than a backup plan in case current efforts fall apart. the plan calls for immediately protecting 11 million illegal immigrants and allowing them to become citizens within eight years. it does not however guaranteed ramped up border security first and foremost which is what republicans want. it differs from the bipartisan bill that a group of eight senators are currently working on. that group includes senator john mccain. >> does the president really want a result or does he want another way to beat up republicans to get political advantage in the next election?

>> we spoke to an official with a network here in the bay area that is a grassroots faith based organization that supports immigrant rights and reform. that official tells us the way to become a citizen under the president's plan is eight years and is simply too long. he says that an immigration bill should work to keep families together. the gop says the white house proposal would be dead on arrival if it came up for a vote today. as for the bipartisan bill, that's expected to be unveiled next month. >> we'll keep our eye out for that. thank you very much. moving on to spring training now. giants are hard at work already on the field. >> we can also tell you there's a lot going on behind the scenes off the field as well. >> let's head down to scottsdale, arizona, for a look at giants spring training with laurence scott. >> reporter: good morning. long before the giants arrived here at spring training, the clubhouse had everything in place. some of the guys that help put it all together have been with the team for decades. some of the most dedicated folks

in the organization. take a look. the unsung heros behind the heros the fans think of when they think of giants. the guys that make sure everything is in place so players have what they need to get the job done. mike murphy and his crew work hard to get it right. the players notice they never notice anything missing. >> it shows how much hard work they put in because so many guys are coming in and out of here every year. these guys are rigorously putting in hours to get our uniforms and lockers and our clothes back in our lockers when we need them to the point where that's not even a complaint issue. it's just the way it is when you get up here. >> reporter: one of the guys on the giants staff who is visiting clubhouse manager at at&t park let's loyalties be well known with several new tattoos. >> i want to get another one. it's been my living for the last 32 years. after the first one, this year i went down and got the other one

happy workweek to you if you are heading off to work this morning temperatures are not that bad and fog is not bad south of the golden gate bridge. fog settles to the surface because we have good wind out there. 38 degrees in gilroy. look at these wind speeds out of the west at 16 miles an hour. in fairfield, 13 miles an hour. right now east-southeast at 6 in san mateo. we're getting offshore winds in san mateo but westerly flow resuming. an indication of that cloud cover pushing in from the pacific as we head throughout the morning hours. i just want to point out where you see white shading is where we do have mostly cloudy conditions. at the surface you have good visibility except for santa rosa right now. half mile available and that's it. 8:00 a.m., look at this. we start to get more of that moisture pushing onshore. may have to use windshield wipers but not for long. drizzle along the peninsula. as we stop the clock at 3:00 p.m., same situation. onshore flow intensifies meaning more low clouds and heavier clouds will create that drizzle.

the main front doesn't arrive until tomorrow morning. this will bring us steady rainfall bringing rainfall totals up to about three-quarters of an inch. we need it. expecting good snowfall out of that system in tahoe. 57 degrees in livermore for today. 57 in san jose. 58 degrees in gilroy. so coming up in my next report, we'll look at what they will get in tahoe. you might be blown away. the good news is cold air reinforced behind that system of low pressure is going to be cold enough for that snow to stick around for a while. into the upcoming weekend, we'll warm up a little bit. just get ready. you'll need to break out that winter wardrobe again this week. 5:47. let's check your drive. how are we doing? >> we're doing well. light volume of traffic. it's a holiday for a lot of schools and businesses. some schools out all week. we'll see a different flow. right now we see that reflected in nice speeds for the flow f w through the south bay. speeds really just coming down below 60 in some stretches and

light volume of traffic as you head down toward 280. no concern here. northbound routes really not showing much of the first burst we see on monday. a lighter flow here. we're looking also toward west 580 and south 680. that's your typical build through the tri-valley. only a little slowing approaching that dublin interchange. a few more cars coming out of the altamont pass. in the 50s. that's easy. through livermore still in the 60s. basically the speed limit. no concern there. a nice drive over toward castro valley y and south 880 which shows slowing now. light right now. at the limit heading toward the san mateo bridge. let's look at the bay bridge across the bay we look at a smooth drive. upper deck into san francisco. lower deck equally as smooth. no backup at the toll plaza. the peninsula south of the dumbarton bridge 101 looks nice. no problems for either direction. right around willow and university. a note that we do have no dumbarton express today. vta through south bay regular schedule. back to you. >> good to know. thanks, mike. 5:48.
